A quality paint job is what transforms a repaired vehicle back into one you're proud to drive.

Our Painting Services

Bob Weaver Collision offers a full range of auto painting services for vehicles of all makes and models. Whether your paint needs are part of a collision repair or a standalone project, we have you covered.

• Full vehicle repaint: A complete respray of your entire vehicle. Whether you want to refresh a faded finish or change your vehicle's color entirely, we handle the complete process from prep to final polish.
• Panel repaint: Targeted painting of individual panels -- fenders, doors, hoods, bumpers, and trunk lids. This is the most common painting service we provide as part of collision repairs.
• Computerized color matching: Using spectrophotometer technology, we analyze your vehicle's exact paint color and mix a custom formula that accounts for age, sun exposure, and natural color variation. The result is a seamless blend that's virtually impossible to detect.
• Clear coat repair: Peeling, flaking, or oxidized clear coat not only looks bad -- it leaves your paint unprotected from UV damage and the elements. We can repair or replace clear coat on affected panels to restore protection and shine.
• Custom colors: Want something unique? We can mix and apply custom colors, including metallic, pearl, and specialty finishes. Talk to us about your vision and we'll make it happen.
• Scratch and chip repair: Deep scratches and rock chips that have penetrated to bare metal need proper attention to prevent rust. We clean, prime, and repaint the affected area with a blended finish for an invisible repair.

Our Paint Process

Achieving a factory-quality paint finish requires precision at every step. Here's how our painting team approaches each job:

1. Computerized color matching: Before any paint is mixed, we use our spectrophotometer to scan your vehicle's current color. This device precisely measures your vehicle's paint color for an accurate match, identifying the exact formula including any fading or color shift that has occurred over time. We then mix your paint to match the vehicle as it is today, not just as it was when new.
2. Surface preparation: Proper prep is the foundation of a lasting paint job. We sand the repair area to create the ideal surface profile, clean it with wax and grease remover, and mask surrounding panels to protect them from overspray. Every edge, trim piece, and adjacent surface is carefully protected.
3. Primer application: A high-build primer is applied to fill minor surface imperfections and create a uniform base for the topcoat. The primer is sanded smooth between coats for a perfectly level surface.
4. Basecoat application: The color coat is applied in multiple thin, even layers inside our downdraft spray booth. Controlled temperature and airflow ensure the paint lays down smoothly and evenly with no dust contamination.
5. Clearcoat application: A durable, UV-resistant clear coat is applied over the basecoat to provide gloss, depth, and long-term protection. The clear coat is what gives modern paint its rich, wet appearance.
6. Curing: The freshly painted vehicle is baked in our heated spray booth at controlled temperatures to fully cure the paint. This ensures maximum hardness, durability, and chemical resistance.
7. Polishing and finishing: Once cured, the paint is inspected under specialized lighting. Any minor imperfections are wet-sanded and polished to a mirror finish. The final result is a smooth, glossy surface that matches your vehicle's factory finish.

State-of-the-Art Paint Booth

The quality of an auto paint job depends heavily on the environment in which it's applied. That's why Bob Weaver Collision uses a professional downdraft spray booth -- the same type of painting environment used by vehicle manufacturers.

In a downdraft booth, filtered air enters from the ceiling and is drawn down through grated floors, carrying overspray, dust, and contaminants away from the vehicle's surface. This creates an ultra-clean painting environment that prevents dust nibs, fisheyes, and other defects that can compromise a finish.

Our booth also functions as a baking chamber. After painting is complete, the booth heats to a precise curing temperature, ensuring the paint hardens evenly and reaches its full durability. The result is a finish that resists chipping, fading, and peeling far better than paint applied and dried in an open shop environment.

The combination of our downdraft booth, premium paint materials, and experienced painters means that the finish on your repaired vehicle will be as close to factory original as possible. Most repairs are completely undetectable once complete.
